OK, let me know how I sound. Do I still have a Brooklyn accent?
The Masters Circle recorded a number of my recent appearances. This one below is a one-on-one interview with Jason Deitch; let me know what you think (and saying “I thought you were taller” is not funny anymore!!!).

Sticking one’s neck out (and airing dirty laundry)

“Behold the turtle. He only makes progress when he sticks his neck out.” - attributed to James Bryant Conant

(But he risks getting his head cut off.)

I’ve become a lightning rod by sticking my neck out. I began by practicing, teaching and writing. I was happy that my writing evolved into patient education and Koren Publications. Lightning struck when the Federal Trade Commission attacked, then it struck again when the Quackbuster-in-chief Stephen Barrett, MD sued me.

Practicing chiropractic begat Koren Specific Technique which has been incredibly rewarding in terms of healing people who had not responded to prior care but, oh my, what pettiness is in the field of chiropractic “technique.”


For example, I applied to Sherman College for partnership for CE credits for KST.

“Sorry, Dr. Koren we can’t work with you.”

“What’s the problem?”

“You teach cranial adjusting. It’s not chiropractic; BJ said the cranials don’t move.”

“BJ made a mistake. He quoted Gray’s Anatomy when he said that and Gray’s was wrong. I’m correcting subluxations in the skull and other parts of the body with KST – subluxations are the expression of imbalance in the body/mind….”

“Dr. Koren, when you decide to teach a CHIROPRACTIC technique we’ll talk to you.”

Sherman also refused to let me speak on campus about childhood vaccinations saying it “wasn’t chiropractic.” I must respectfully disagree – I don’t know a more chiropractic subject than childhood vaccination and I’ll be happy to debate anyone on that issue.

Sherman is my alma mater – so sad.

PS. We are working with Life University for KST CE credits. Thanks Life! Sadly, Life West and Palmer refused to work with us. NYCC and Bridgeport refused to return my phone calls.


Teaching Seth to drive

He’s pretty good. First we went to a construction site and learned about putting the car in gear and going forward and backward and steering. Then after Seth got his permit we went to large parking lots, a local community college and then real streets with other cars.

It’s been fun watching him develop skills that for me, after so many years of driving, are automatic. It’s really a thrill to re-experience how I learned to drive through teaching Seth. He even drove in the rain and at night.

I must admit there have been times my leg was sore from pressing on an imaginary brake but I’m doing it less and less. Our next hurdles to conquer – the turnpike (we’re building up to that) and parallel parking.


Vaccination and kids

Having children begat my book Childhood Vaccination: Questions All Parents Should Ask and The Vaccination Lecture Kit.

I didn’t think we’d vaccinate when Seth was born but in the back of my mind I had doubts – “Am I really doing the right thing?” “Will he be somehow unprotected?” “Is it worth dealing with the school system?” “With my mother-in-law?”

So I started studying, researching, going to conferences, meeting people and the result was that neither of my children has ever been vaccinated, and the above book and lecture.

Beth and I have never regretted our decision to keep Seth and Shayna vaccine-free. The book and lecture kit were created to give others, doctors and patients, the information that is in the medical journals, but so few are able to find.

PS. Both are available at www.korenpublications.com.


Brother can you spare a dime? Charities I do not support: Alex’s Lemonade stand, Race for the Cure, etc.

Am I being cruel? No, just selective. Let me first say that I give a lot to various charities and I give a lot of free care but I (in general) do not support medical research.

As far as I’m concerned it means throwing good money after bad. For example, autism research is looking for a “genetic” cause of this epidemic yet geneticists tell us it’s impossible to have an epidemic that is based on genetics. Why do they do this? Because it blames the parents: “You gave your kid bad genes.” It also absolves the government and the medical profession and their vaccines (as well as the dental profession and its use of mercury).

How about looking at the track record? Eighty years of the American Cancer Society asking for money (and getting loads of it!) and nothing to show for it. They keep promising us, “A cure is on the way.” Give me a break. They are looking in the wrong places – they’ll never, ever find a “cure” because they aren’t looking for a cure.

What we need in this country is a charity that looks at healthcare from a non-medical perspective – that is why we created the Foundation for Health Choice. One of our goals is to create a “holistic” charitable fund that gives money to support research that will really make a difference.


Darwin never said “survival of the fittest”

He never said “survival of the fittest” except to complain about it.

That phrase was coined by Herbert Spencer who wanted to use Darwin’s theories to promote his “Social Darwinism” – a dangerous idea that the Nazis used to justify murdering millions.
Darwin noted that compassion and cooperation were those qualities that distinguished “savages” from advanced civilizations. That is the reason why some societies and species survived and others did not.


 A wonderful goal none of the candidates care about

Peace, easy taxes and a tolerable administration of justice. – Adam Smith

The most famous critic of the mercantilist system (a government oppressing citizens with rules, laws, taxes and excessive regulation) was Adam Smith, professor of moral philosophy at Glasgow University and author of The Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759) and An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations (1776). Smith urged a free market approach to political economy, observing in 1755, for instance:

Little else is required to carry a state to the highest degree of affluence from the lowest barbarism but peace, easy taxes, and a tolerable administration of justice; all the rest being brought about by the natural course of things. All governments which thwart the natural course are unnatural, and, to support themselves, are obliged to be oppressive and tyrannical.


I’m voting Libertarian for President

For those of you who are unable to vote for people who promote the ideals of Adam Smith, etc. (see above), I guess Obama would be the favored choice. Hillary is in big with the pharmaceuticals and McCain is pretty much more of the same. Hey, they’re all socialists to a greater or lesser degree – big powerful government will solve our problems (Where? When?).

No matter who is elected I pity him/her. Why? Because they’ll have such a mess on their hands. Our taxes will have to be raised to pay for all the debt we’ve accumulated and we all know politicians will destroy our standard of living before they’ll ever limit government spending (a real alternative to raising taxes).

Do you write letters like this about your technique?

“First day after the seminar I adjusted my office manager using KST. She had a very prominent thoracic hump. After she could breathe much easier…. The next day the hump was gone! My wife who suffered continually with headaches has seen them reduced to almost nothing. She used to ask for daily adjustments, she hasn't asked in over a month. I see these results over and over again. So far in 2008, new patients have doubled, gross income is up 20% and my personal income is up 32%. All I want to say is THANK YOU!” Benjamin Peterson, DC

“The results are absolutely incredible. The neat thing is I am adjusting the exact order in which the onion is to be unraveled. Tedd, there are so many miracles before I even got home from the conference that I can’t tell you all of them or I would be writing only and not working. So I just want to say thanks so much. All of my patients from young to old left with perfect posture without prompting. None of them had any forward head carriage, shoulders were aligned medially to the upper body and leg. They were amazed!” Thank you, Rob Crisman, DC

“I am having a ball with KST! I've had success with the weight loss pattern: the patient has lost her craving for certain foods – it started after the first adjustment using KST! Certain people are getting better so fast that I have to get much better at the "Wellness" talk or else I think they'll be gone!!! I am thrilled.” Nina Englander, DC

Come to an upcoming KST seminar:

  • London, England – May 31st and June 1st

Please read this petition and send this to your entire mailing list. Assemblyman Marc Alessi is trying diligently to pass a philosophical exemption for vaccines in New York and we need as many signatures as possible. Thank you in advance for your help. My 11-year-old son Luke is still being kept out of public school since kindergarten for my wise decision to keep him healthy and not to vaccinate. I would appreciate you great assistance in this arena for all of us. Love your vaccine book and your new CD that is in it.

Please take the time to sign this petition and send to as many friends as you know support the CHOICE of whether to vaccinate our children and not to be FORCED by the state to make decisions about our children's health and wellbeing.... Thank you from my heart, Dr. Lynn Friedman
